🚨**Alert: Don't Fall for Phishing & Smishing Scams!**🚨
Tax season brings a spike in email and text scams, targeting not just taxpayers but also tax professionals, payroll providers, and HR departments. Scammers often pose as the IRS or other legitimate tax organizations to trick you into handing over personal and financial info.
Watch Out for These Scams:
Phishing: Fake emails claiming to be from the IRS, tempting victims with fake tax refunds or threatening legal actions.
Smishing: Scam texts with alarming messages like "Account on hold" or "Unusual Activity," along with a deceitful link.
Remember:
The IRS never initiates contact via email, text, or social media about a bill or tax refund.
Never click on links from unsolicited messages claiming to be the IRS.
Verify the sender’s identity through a different communication method.
Stay Protected:
Consider setting up two-factor or multi-factor authentication for your email to reduce the risk of being hacked.
If you receive a suspicious email or text, verify it by calling a known, legitimate number, not one provided in the scam message.
